The Business of Art
by Haselton Media Group

The myth is dead.
You do not have to starve to be a real artist.
You do not have to “sell out” to make a living.
And you no longer have to figure it all out alone.

Written for painters, photographers, sculptors, illustrators, and digital artists who are tired of guessing, this is the definitive, no-nonsense handbook for turning your creative practice into a thriving, sustainable business—without losing your soul.Inside these pages you’ll discover exactly how to:

• Dismantle the starving-artist mindset and replace it with unshakeable confidence around money and self-worth
• Price your work fairly and raise your prices without apology (complete with seven proven methods and real-world examples)
• Build multiple reliable income streams in 2025 and beyond—direct sales, galleries, licensing, commissions, workshops, memberships, corporate work, and more
• Market yourself authentically in a noisy digital world (the only content strategy that still works, email mastery, and getting press without a publicist)
• Write bullet-proof contracts, protect your copyright, and stop AI platforms from scraping your work
• Manage cash flow, taxes, and bookkeeping like a pro (even if you hate numbers)
• Avoid burnout, set boundaries, and sustain deep creativity for decades
• Archive your work, plan your estate, and build a legacy that outlives you

Packed with word-for-word scripts, contract clauses, pricing calculators, email templates, and up-to-the-minute strategies for today’s art market, this book is the mentor you wish you’d had years ago.Whether you’re just starting to sell or you’re ready to scale to consistent five- or six-figure income, The Business of Art gives you the exact roadmap—and the permission—to create extraordinary work and get paid extraordinarily well for it.

“Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art…
good business is the best art.”
— Andy Warhol
It’s time to prove him right.
